This is a vintage collectible belt buckle commemorating the XV World Jamboree, held in Alberta, Canada in 1983. Featuring the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) logo and the iconic Fleur-de-lis, the central medallion is a striking gold-tone, depicting a waving flag and the event details. The outer frame of the buckle is a dark, textured metal, possibly pewter or a similar alloy, with a scenic relief of a rising sun over mountains and a forest of pine trees, indicative of the Canadian wilderness. The buckle is well-preserved for its age, showing minor wear consistent with a vintage collectible, including some cracking texture on the darker metal finish which adds to its aged character. The back features a standard belt loop and prong mechanism. This piece is a must-have for Scouting enthusiasts, collectors of international travel memorabilia, or anyone interested in unique vintage buckles.
